A flavorful, anti-inflammatory AIP Paleo Avocado Turmeric Chicken Salad that is perfect for weekday lunches. Whip this up during your next weekend meal prep session!

Last week I shared my new favorite method for quickly and easily cooking chicken breasts: in my Instant Pot! I think it is pretty obvious that I am kind of in love with everything about it. So much so that I have actually been craving chicken lately, which is pretty much a rarity for me. I tend to crave beef and turkey far more often. But now that I know how simple it can be to whip up some chicken, I am starting to come around to the whole idea.

Each time that I cook chicken in my Instant Pot, it normally yields enough for approximately four to six servings. A.K.A. I have a lot of chicken and am continually looking for new and creative ways to use it. But there’s a catch. Lately, those ways also need to be AIP Paleo-compliant. And while there are certainly plenty of AIP chicken recipes out there, they are by no means a dime a dozen.

No matter how many chicken recipes I come across, my tried and true favorite is always some type of chicken salad. Maybe it is because it is easy. Or maybe it is because it is delicious. Either way, I cannot get enough!

In the past, I have generally made my chicken salad using avocado and Dijon mustard as the creamy base. Since mustard is a no-no on the AIP food list, I had to come up with something different. I originally thought that avocado on its own could work and it does. But each time I tried it, I felt like it was missing something. Hence the addition of two staples in my fridge and pantry: coconut cream and turmeric.

I like to think that this AIP Paleo Avocado Turmeric Chicken Salad has a bit of a curry twist to it (but without the non-AIP curry powder). I also think it tastes super unique, flavorful, and delicious.

I love finding new ways to incorporate turmeric into recipes and will definitely be trying this one! It's a perfect lunch option, which is not always easy with AIP. Are you planning on doing a diet/health update soon? I would love to hear about what you have been trying. Hope you are feeling well!

Turmeric is seriously one of my favorite spices ever. I love it!
I was just thinking not too long ago that I needed to write another health update. I have a couple of appointments coming up soon that I want to go to first...then I shall write!

This looks fantastic! I love the sound of a turmeric and avocado sauce! I never used to really like chicken but I think pastured chicken actually has a proper flavour if that makes sense? I love getting the whole chicken now and roasting it with a load of butter on it and fresh herbs - so good (not on whole 30 or AIP sadly...) and so much good leftovers!
